+# LND #9952 Implementation Guide
+
+## Changes Needed
+
+### 1. lnrpc/routerrpc/router.proto
+Add to `QueryRoutesRequest`:
+```protobuf
+bytes payment_addr = 15;
+```
+
+Add to `SendToRouteRequest`:
+```protobuf
+MPPRecord mpp_record = 3;
+```
+
+### 2. lnrpc/lightning.proto
+Ensure MPPRecord is defined:
+```protobuf
+message MPPRecord {
+    bytes payment_addr = 1;
+    uint64 total_amt_msat = 2;
+}
+```
+
+### 3. routing/router.go
+Update `QueryRoutes` to include MPP record.
+
+### 4. cmd/lncli/commands.go
+Add flags for payment_addr.
+
+## Generate & Test
+```bash
+make rpc
+make check
+```
